Ariana and Ricky previously dated between 2015 and 2016 before continuing to remain friends and stay in touch. Their renewed bond came into the spotlight in June when the former couple were spotted together in Austin, Texas, on June 26. Ricky later attended Ariana’s tour performance in the city, further fuelling speculation about their relationship.
The pair were subsequently spotted around Ariana’s Eternal Sunshine Tour. Ricky was seen dancing in the audience during her Brooklyn show, where Ariana appeared to reference their shared history while performing “Thank U, Next”. During the performance, she sang, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / We always find our way back,” a moment that immediately grabbed attention.
Ariana and Ricky are reportedly taking things slow
According to PEOPLE, the two are “taking things very slowly” as they explore their renewed connection. “Ariana has always considered Ricky a friend,” the insider said. “She’s not held ill will against him [since their split]. Ricky is dependable, trustworthy and very supportive. Ariana feels she can be herself around Ricky.”
While their appearances have sparked dating speculation, the source indicated that the pair are not rushing into anything serious. “They’re not jumping into anything serious right away, but Ari is happy to have him back in her life,” the source added.
